The State Legislatures.
WiLhin a fow day.s the legislatures of 43 states will be in session. Po¬ litical heelers arte swarming around the Btatehouses, business men are de¬ manding legislation needed for the deevlopment of slate resources, office seekers are clamor;.-.., and persons with notions and panacea.s arc pre¬ senting their usual visionary proposi¬ tions. It i.-< a real man's job to be a member of a state legislature.
As a whole the people of tue sev¬ eral states do not seem vVv well satisfied with these bodies. Perhaps the worst trouble Is that the mo.st capable men are so reluctant to tako time off their business to .serve the stale. There are always plenty of good and competent men in every legislature. But tbere are too man> mere self-ficekers of very mediocre ability.
The American people have some .strange notions when they get into the voling booth. The writer recalls 4« contest in another town where a certain man was defeated who really seemed very wil qualified. The suc¬ cessful ca.ndiate never had made a success of anything. He had recent¬ ly been ill, and it was the verdict of the community that he would be the choice, as he needed the salary. Tho other and belter cJindidate was "well fixed," and did not need the money. No wonder that foolish work 1.9 done.
A legislator is very much on his honor when he gets to the state capl- tol. If he voteB as the party leadei suggests, and is present on the most important roll calls, no one seem.i to * notice it if he dodges committee hear¬ ings, takes no time for independent study of public auestions, and enjoys tho session as a rest cure and sport¬ ing loaf.

500 Per Cent, Profit Such is the nuignitude of a business whicli lias been but partially devel¬ oped. The production and sale of motion pictures has beeonie an in¬ dustry of almost unlimited possibni- tles. I'pwards of one million dollars in cash receipts are taken In daily at the box ofilces of the motion pic¬ ture houses. Over five millions of dollars has been Invested to date.
We have been parti<ularly fonu- nate in securing ono of the prominent clilzens of this village who has made an exhaustive study of the industry to write of the past, present ar.d the future of the motion picture. His flrst article, published in other col¬ umns, is clear and concise. We in¬ vite your careful consideration of it.

John H. Findey, Commissioner of the State Boari of Education, by his decision on Munday in the case ol Mrs. Geixotto, put an end to the agi¬ tation of the mother-teacher nuestion.
Mr. Finley ordered her reinstate¬ ment to the position from which sbe was dismissed by the Board of Wau cation of New York City. He called attention to the fact that a law pro¬ viding that a woman teacher's posi¬ tion automatically becam^e vacant when she married was de<!lared un¬ constitutional, and held that the New York City Board of Education should have accepted the natural corollary of Its policy of employing or retain¬ ing married women as teachers, "and should have given at least a favorable consideration to an absence for child¬ birth as is normally given to au sencea asked for other reasons."
Commissioner Finley did not hesi¬ tate to say blankly, that he did not regard the idea that married women teachers should end their service up¬ on maternity, as sound in principle or wholesome In practice. Until laws are enacted to the contrary, there is no appeal from this decision.

Railroad Economies.
In these times when the railroada are hard pressed for funds to pay their dividends, it ia to be hoped that some of the extravagances of past railroad terminal building will bo avoided. It is an unwise allotment of funda, when out along the lines there are «o many flimsy, dingy, and dirty wooden stations, while in fhe great cities there Is such lavish dis¬ play ot marble and bronze.
Costly terminals have always been defended on tho ground tlmt they are necessary to advertise a railroad system's business. Yet by a little co¬ operation and consultation between the heads of different roads, millions of; needless expense could be saved.
A big metropolitan railroad termi¬ nal ought to be ample In size, and archltecturallf dignified. But cement serves precisely as well as costly

if ever, ! any photo fi'.ay securities, I I'mil a siiurl time ago this Indus- i I ry was carried on by a few corpora- iiuns or individuals, who were closely ' iillied or Idontilled with i^ach other, ; ;!ius excluding or inlimidaling many I would-be investors from pa'ri ici(»;uion I .il Ihe muiuifacturing end. i This spirit of control by a few, : .ould not . si. The increasing public ; liuiaiul. toui ther with the many sideu j aspeilri and possibilities of the busi- ( ness, outgrew this ex^'lusiveness. The i industry is contimiaily opening up j ;icw lields thai offer capiial ami en- I ergy, opportunities way lieyond the i ordinary vision or conception.
It is owing to the large and ever- increasing invested capital or ratu- er tlie reinvestment of the profits that tho growth of the business has forged ahead .so rapidly. The pres¬ ent scale of operation is beyond the i'ontiol of any one or more opera¬ tions or syndicates, and opiporiuniti<>s ure now nresented to individuals as uwiH-is of special feature photo plays of which Quo Vadis, Cabiria, Damon I'ythias are good exaiU/ples as a class of production.
The motion picture or photo i)iays have come to stay. It is a cash pro¬ ducer. The le,ading theatrical man¬ agers, aciois and iilaywrights are^ con¬ tributing their talents to its deevlop¬ ment. Well-known and highly es¬ teemed educators are convinced of ils great educational value, and a movemeni is oil foot to inaugurate a system of school courses that will be illuslrated by tilins.
iiovernmeut, social and indu.striai cxposition.s will make use of the pholo tllnis lo e.\-pl<.V tbe object of ll.v ex¬ position, while State and Agriculture Aill and aie making use of the motion idciuie films for the general good and .iiteiesf- of the puldic at large.
As is the case .n every useful and needed industry, there may be many doubtful enierpri.ses, but when the legitiauite needs are carried out, suc¬ cess is bound to follow. .Such has proven to be the case in, the great I majority of moving picture undertak¬ ings, iiartieularly so when conserva¬ tively capitalized and well managed
Any une producing market milk finds the need of some eort of place for handling It In a sanitary way, and the house shown and described hero fills the need and at the Rame time add.s to the aii-earance of the farm. All authorities agree that milk handled In an insanitary man¬ ner results in loss both to producer and coiiRumer The producer loses because unclean dairy products sell at a low price, and the consumer suffers because of enhanced cost of high grade milk and butter.
show the company was organized by Ihiee friends some hve years ago. They each invested but two thousand dollars ($2,000) or a total capital ot six thousand dollars ($tl,OO0) al which it still stands. No stock increase, no stock sold or otTered for sale, Thls company spe<;ializes in meiodnimalic produciions and pays to the holder of e^ich two thousand dollar ($2,000) in terest, eiglit hundred thousand dol¬ lars ($800,000) as this year's dividend on tlieir invest ment.
This may be an extreme case, Iiui from what is generally knoyvn among tlif followers of the business we, are led to p.lbrm thai this is but a fair re[>resentalion of the earnings of sev¬ eral other conc»*fns during the year.
The fart may be readily calculat¬ ed when we lake the high average cost of one of the well-known pro<lu<- tioiis of photo plays that may be rei>- resented by five or si.x reel perform¬ ances. Few of these R-iKnial features will exceed in cost ten thousand dol¬ lars ($10,000) to protluce. The origi¬ nal negative furnishes any number of positives or ifproiluctions at si very nominal cost, and many Iirms run twenty-five to flty plays or sets at ;l time, brinrfng ou| lifly to one hundred and fifty productions year¬ ly, and a few upwards of this num¬ ber.
li we cakulate but tv^enty dollars ($20) per set, and twenty reels to be use<l nightly, it will equal tour bun- dred dollars ($400.00) per night, net receipts, and if leaiied fo.- but one hundred and fifty nights during the year, net sixty thousand dollars ($B0,000) on a ten thousand dollar ($10,000) investment, or a prolil ot over !'!ve hundred per cent.
From these facLs. it may be serti that few indu.Mrles offer lictter ac¬ tual earning power than the control or production of a photo play film, the outlay is all In the first cost and tbat is paid twwk almost Immediate¬ ly. An Investment of this kind re¬ quires little attention, af^ arrange¬ ments are made with an exchange or distributing management that takes full charge of the booking and iuh distributing ot the photo play through-

The American people have some .strange notions when they get into the voling booth. The writer recalls 4« contest in another town where a certain man was defeated who really seemed very wil qualified. The suc¬ cessful ca.ndiate never had made a success of anything. He had recent¬ ly been ill, and it was the verdict of the community that he would be the choice, as he needed the salary. Tho other and belter cJindidate was "well fixed," and did not need the money. No wonder that foolish work 1.9 done.
A legislator is very much on his honor when he gets to the state capl- tol.

500 Per Cent, Profit Such is the nuignitude of a business whicli lias been but partially devel¬ oped. The production and sale of motion pictures has beeonie an in¬ dustry of almost unlimited possibni- tles. I'pwards of one million dollars in cash receipts are taken In daily at the box ofilces of the motion pic¬ ture houses. Over five millions of dollars has been Invested to date.

The motion picture or photo i)iays have come to stay. It is a cash pro¬ ducer. The le,ading theatrical man¬ agers, aciois and iilaywrights are^ con¬ tributing their talents to its deevlop¬ ment. Well-known and highly es¬ teemed educators are convinced of ils great educational value, and a movemeni is oil foot to inaugurate a system of school courses that will be illuslrated by tilins.

The origi¬ nal negative furnishes any number of positives or ifproiluctions at si very nominal cost, and many Iirms run twenty-five to flty plays or sets at ;l time, brinrfng ou| lifly to one hundred and fifty productions year¬ ly, and a few upwards of this num¬ ber.
